Portrait Of An Artist As An Old Man ... Mr. Catch-22

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Like a character conceived
in one of his novels,
he would sooner starve
than cook another meal
***
He could weave
the most elaborate falsehoods
with the most trustworthy of faces
for as long as his listeners
remained credulous

    Welcome to Quotacious Tuesday.

    It may be the only one of its kind and it happened somewhat
    by accident when I walked into my garage/recording studio
    with my dulcimer and a loose-leaf binder of 80 "book reports"
    with 40 sleeve protectors.

    Me thought: Why do my own thinking today when I can
    quote some grandmasters of the English language?

    Me also thought what a shame that no one could hear
    some pretty groovy dulcimer music that went unrecorded
    while the iPhone was being charged upstairs
